Practical Law—a publisher of trusted, up-to-date legal information and best practices—recently published a guide on patent drafting for software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology, authored by Blueshift IP co-founder and software patent expert Robert Plotkin.

With SaaS becoming a dominant model in software delivery, the comprehensive guide offers invaluable guidance for obtaining enforceable patents in this complex and evolving field. Topics covered in the resource include:

  • The challenges of patenting SaaS, including divided infringement and patent eligibility.
  • Strategies for drafting claims that focus on single-entity infringement to simplify enforcement.
  • Best practices for creating flexible and comprehensive claim sets to protect dynamic SaaS technologies.
  • How to effectively use functional and structural language in patent drafting.
